Kanye West’s Weak Apology to Taylor Swift

UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s newest apology here.
UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response to his outburst here.
Etiquette Rule #213: “If you’re going to write an apology letter…DON’T USE ALL FREAKIN’ CAPS!!!”
Shortly after disrespecting country singer Taylor Swift (and reportedly being kicked out of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards), Kanye West hit his personal blog.
Since we’re currently unable to access the website (has the half-ass “apology” already disintegrated?), you’ll just have to read his insincere words here.
What do you think about the rapper’s post? Do you think Taylor should even give him the time of day?

I think he just feels like an idiot after beyonce personally gives her moment up to let taylor have her moment! Its weak, and if he’s “sorry” about it now, he shoulda thought about it before he acted stupid. Beyonce was a real class act and i think the world just re-fell in love with her.

NO she shouldn’t!! He’s a disgrace! K whatever if he made a statement about it later, but to go up there and steal her thunder!!!! A$$$

he was so damn sarcastic in that “apology” and i’m sure she’ll see through all of it. what was the point of pissing on her happiness? he’s truly the definition of STUPID #######

Kanye can be Kanye, but that doesn’t give him the right to be a jerk and interrupt the entire VMA. I mean, he’s not the king of world.
There’s a difference being real, and being an ass. No one asked him to go around telling everyone how much he loves Taylor Swift, but I think it’s reasonable to ask a grown man to act his age.

kanye’s apology sucked and it wasn’t even really an apology.
Reply to this: comment | thread
What he did was totally wrong, but at least he didnt wait to apologize. He got caught up in the moment. He;s human. He will pay a price for this, tho. People love to pile on when somethng like this happens especially to such a nonsympathetic figure.

This is just one of those things u will never be able to fix, u only get ur first vma award once, u can give her that moment again.
Reply to this: comment | thread
get over it. it happend. he was wrong. he knows it. why would it be fake. he knows he did something wrong. are you perfect, hes not the only one thats screwed up big time. big deal. i know i screwed up a billion times. whatever. its over so just. lay off. its not your problem anyways
Reply to this: comment | thread
so kanye’s a douche, what else is new? he’s completely entitled to his opinion, but if i was talyor i would’ve beat his ass for walking up there in the middle of HER speech. i don’t like taylor swift’s music but, regardless, how would he have felt if someone pulled that stunt in the middle of his acceptance speech for his FIRST vma??? his apology is bs, everyone knows that. can you say publicity stunt? his pr person must be having a field day!

KANYE WEST IS AN IGNORANT & EGOTISTIC FOOL. NO ONE SHOULD BUY HIS CDs, HE HAS NO TALENT AND HAS NO RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE. I REFUSE TO LISTEN TO ANY OF HIS SONGS! I DON’T USUALLY LISTEN TO TAYLOR SWIFT’S MUSIC BUT I FEEL BAD FOR HER, SHE DIDN’T DESERVE TO BE INTERRUPTED WHILE ACCEPTING HER AWARD. IF THAT WAS ME ON STAGE AND I GOT INTERRUPTED BY KANYE, I WILL TAKE THAT MOON MAN AND SHOVE IT UP HIS ARROGANT ASS. HE MAKES ME SICK! HE THINKS HE’S THE HOTTEST ####! I THINK HE SHOULD WAKE UP AND GOOGLE HIS NAME AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE THINK BOUT HIM BEFORE HE MAKES ANOTHER ALBUM. HE’S A PSYCHO IN THE MAKING!!! EVERY RECORD COMPANY SHOULD DROP HIM. HE DOESN’T DESERVE TO HAVE THIS PRIVILEGE! DON’T BUY HIS MUSIC!!!!! LET HIM REALIZE WHAT HE HAS BECOME!

“Kanye is Kanye” does not justify him stealing the (short) spotlight that was to be on Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, who RIGHTFULLY (as voted upon) won the award. He needs to grow up - how low of him. I can only think of the fit he would have thrown if someone jumped on stage and said he didn’t deserve an award (which he’d actually have to win first).
His apology was half-assed and mocking, bottom line.
Reply to this: comment | thread
people like Kanye West ARE the downfall of the African-American race.
It is ashame that some people have to be so rude and ignorant.
His mother obviously didn’t raise him right.
Reply to this: comment | thread
That’s not even an apology…its pretty much just saying “Sorry that you guys think I was in the wrong but I wasn’t”
Reply to this: comment | thread
WOW!!!! He’s rude! IGNORANT! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY….A CHILDISH!!!!TWIT!!!UGH!!!YOU KNOW WHAT KANYE!!??!? IF YOU EVER READ THIS, YOUR A GAY FISH!!! YEAH CUZ YOU LIKE FISH STICKS!!!
Reply to this: comment | thread
you realize, he just continued to bash her in the apology. He mentioned Beyonce video again, and then talks about real culture, his weak, and a moron. Most people supported what he said, and you know what. I’m not a big fan of Taylor Swift, but that #### he pulled was completely fucked up to all levels. I use to like him, but i heard he did the same to Justin Timberlake, and what he said about Britney Spear’s GIMMIE MORE routine at the VMA’s, and ####. He acts like his shush a rare gift from god, when to most people now his nothing. He just a jackass, with a ego the size of his head.

Taylor Swift is a cliche, stereotypical country singer; she may be talented but c’mon she isn’t THAT talented. Her lyrics are pathetic and her video was simplistic. So Beyonce is considerate enough to let Taylor “cliched stereotype” Swift have her little moment in the spotlight for god know’s whatever reason: That sure as heck doesn’t change the fact that Taylor Swift doesn’t belong on the stage. the bottom line is that Kanye may have been harsh, but he spoke the truth.
Reply to this: comment | thread
LOL its her first VMA award and this retard just barges on stage and grabs her mic?
Since day one i never liked him or his music…he’s cocky, self centered, and self rightous.
Who is he to decide who should have won that award…Taylor won it fair game. If fans though Beyonce should have won it, then they would have voted for Beyonce. Kanye shouldn’t try and speak for the people anymore, he always digs himself in a ditch. loser.
And as for this ‘apology’...its pathetic. He’s not saying sorry at all, just like that person above me said..hes basicially saying..‘im sorry you all dont agree with what i did, but im right anyways’. Also…Beyonce won Best Video Of The Year….so what the hell was his point in saying that…Taylor won Best Video for pop..or something…who cares…overall for the year Beyonce won. so shut up Kanye. You are so embaressing. Beyonce has class and im glad she stood up for Taylor like that. What a way to take home her first VMA award….Kanye= classless jerk.
TeamTAYLOR<3

It takes a special breed of prentious-ness to do what he did and still not apologize the right way. Talented artist or not…he’s lost my respect time and time again.

JT she clearly belonged on the stage because she won. Obviously others don’t share your opinion. Regardless of your opinion of her and her music, Kanye was, is and likely always will be, an ass.
Reply to this: comment | thread
Kayne West is nothing but an ignorant uneducated field nigger. #### him and Beyonce too. That cunt doesn’t deserve a ############# thing, much less a VMA award.
Reply to this: comment | thread
Bottom line: Taylor won. If you don’t like it, it’s not her fault; take that up with the voters. And if a 30+ man can’t contain his #### over some stupid music award show and let a young girl have a moment in the spotlight over a damn video, he’s a complete fool. For all the preaching he does about Jesus, you’d think he’d act a little more like a mature, human being who doesn’t get caught up in pop culture.
He has a blog. He could have blogged worshiped Beyonce on it publicly. But Kanye’s a narcissist who needs to be on meds. He’s about as talented as Britney Spears. Anyone who heard him “sing” LIVE on SNL knows that. Nails on a chalkboard. He can’t even dance. At least Britney can dance. He lets a tricked out stage do the work for him.

Kanye West stole Taylor Swift’s first moment as a VMA winner. He stole her VMA virginity. It was her first time and HE RAPED HER. Yeah, he fucked her real good. Here’s the News Headline: BLACK MAN RAPES WHITE WOMAN ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. That was her first time winning on the VMA. And then Kanye that the worthless thoughtless son of bitch RAPED her real good on National Television. Yeah, his website should CRASH because of all the HATE that he’s getting. Now watch this. If he had problems with all the HATERS before, now he has even more problems.

Kanye’s apology was made while he was high on cocaine and drunk from that swill he was drinking on the red carpet. It is what you call a “back-handed apology”.
Kanye West is a garlic eating, stinking, little, yellow, greasy, fascist, bastard, no talent, drug pushing, wino, coke sniffing, crack-head racist.
My consolation is that Taylor handled this incident with grace, style, poise and came out a Winner!
Props also go to Beyonce’ for being a classy lady with cajones and inviting Taylor out onto the stage to be with her and to have her Moment, uninterrupted.
Kanye was booed and thrown out of Radio City Music Hall. He is a Loser and his career is over. He is finished.
Taylor Swift’s story is right out of “A Star Is Born”. I could tell by the way the audience chanted her name in support of her.
The Audience fell in love with her.

Anujan Kumaranathan, you are an IDIOT. Kanye should APOLOGIZE. And you, Anujan Kumaranathan (or whatever the hell your name is), you are an IDIOT who should also APOLOGIZE. Kanye STOLE the first time when Taylor Swift won a VMA. It was her FIRST TIME. Taylor Swift was VMA virgin and KANYE RAPED HER ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. Here’s the NEWS HEADLINE you idiot: BLACK MAN RAPES WHITE WOMAN on National Television. This was Taylor Swift’s first time winning an VMA. Didn’t you hear her? She said she was dreaming of winning a VMA. So this was her FIRST TIME and that makes her a VMA VIRGIN. And Kanye FUCKED her real good on NATIONAL TELEVISION. Kanye West is a DISGRACE to Music. And you, Anujan Kumaranathan, are an IDIOT.

So uhm… Kanye is a douche bag. That’s pretty damn well known. But That is not a fuckin excuse for inturrupting a chicks award acceptence speech. He doesn’t have a right. I hate all these people sayin it’s alright that he did it cause he’s KANYE WEST. Well if thats kanye west, #### him. He doesn’t deserve to be famous. He got mad when someone else got an award that he thought he shoulda gotten, alright, maybe someone can understand that, but gettin mad cause of someone else? What the #### runs through this fools mind? He ain’t a beast. Don’t rep Kanye. He doesn’t deserve anything.

YOU PEOPLE WHO SAY KANYE WAS NOT IN THE WRONG ARE CRAZY AS HELL! TAYLOR SWIFT IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING NEW COUNTRY SINGERS OF OUR TIME. SHE WRITES ALL HER LYRICS HERSELF, SHE DESERVES EVERY AWARD SHE IS GIVEN I HAEV NEVER SEEN SOMEONE SO CLOSE WITH HER FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND FANS AND SOMEONE THAT PUTS AS MUCH HEART AND SOUL AND TIME INTO WHAT SHE DOES LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT DOES.
KANYE IS A ####### #######, IF I EVER SEE HIM I SWEAR HE WILL WISH HE WAS NEVER BEEN BORN, ID KICK HIM SO DAMN HARD IN HIS BAL** HE MIGHT AS WELL GO JUMP OFF A DAMN BRIDGE, I PERSONALLY JUST DELETED EVERY SONG I EVER HAD WITH KANYE IN IT AND HE IS A DISGRACE TO EVERYONE.

BEYONCE HAS WON MANY, AND YOUR A STUPID A**H*** FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING ITS OTHERS TIME TO SHINE, AND SHE DESERVES IT MORE THEN ANYONE. YOUR NOT EVEN APOLOGIZING IN YOUR BLOG ITS COMPLETE BS AND YOUR JUST SAYING OH MY BAD, BUT YOU DONT THINK YOU WERE WRONG AND IT CLEARLY SHOWS, IF I WERE YOU I WOULD JUST GO HIDE IN A HOLE AND DON’T COME OUT FOR A VERY LONG TIME

You are stupid! She is doing what she loves. Your opinion is that she has no talent..but yet she has millions of fans. Kanye West is the “cliched stereotyped” rapper. She is 19 years old. The FANS voted for her video or didnt you know that. She has a record label…someone thought she had talent. As for your sorry ass were you not taught respect. you are ignorant as well.

See you can tell Kanye was completely sincere because he wrote his message in all CAPS. Only really important people write in all CAPS. How else would people know he’s important? Have pity on the Gay Fish.

all i know is if it was back in the day i would have ran up there and tied a rope around kanyes throat and lynched his ass right off the stage. hes an arrogant disrespectful ####### and needs to be taught a lesson. his ass deserves to be beat taking that moment from taylor was as awful as it comes, thats once in a life time opportunity and he stole it from her.
god if murder was legal…

There are other things out there that sound like “nails on a chalkboard”; country music is a perfect example! My own distaste for this twangy, white-trash garbage aside, Taylor Swift’s own syrupy sweet lyrics, happy-go-lucky vocals and overall pathetically clichéd musical style deserve only to be on the Disney Channel or in some equally childish and simplistic entertainment area. She is a blatant shake-and-bake singer who shamelessly fiends for media attention like some whiney, upper-class princess. Oh wow big deal Kanye got fked up and acted a fool. All he did was arrogantly declare that he thinks Beyonce should’ve won. He didn’t yell at Swift, call her names, or do anything that horrible. Everyone here is layering on sympathy like Swift’s entire family was just killed by the Manson family or some ludicrous sht like that! If she’s as talented, adult, and unique as all you claim she is then I’m sure this gorgeous, multi-millionaire, rising “star” then she sure as sht should be able to handle some drunk ####### taking like eight seconds out of yet another one of her award ceremonies. FFS people it’s just not that big of a deal.

you sir are an unbelievable douche. i think you belong in the kanye catergory of assholes. if taylor wasnt talented then she wouldnt have one plain and simple. your an idiot and should be lynched up with kanye as well.

black people, ie. THE ORGINAL PEOPLE of this EARTH, have to STOP being self-conscious!
if a white person had acted like this, to a black person, at the VMAs, the rest of the white community wouldn’t take it on!!!
KANYE WEST is one black INDIVIDUAL. he does not represent ME.
KANYE WEST’s behaviour was inappropriate. most people agree with THAT. but to say, “when i see him, i’m going to kill him!”, is jus as effed up, if not more!
there are always repurcussions, to behaviour.
we’ll see the consequences, of KW’s actions.

Holefully if the alcohol he was drinking tonight doesn’t get him the drugs will. He is a wasted peice of trash and an attention whore to boot. He once again showed his true colors-too bad he has to do it to an poor 17 yr old girl.
Reply to this: comment | thread
he behaved like a pathetic, egomaniacal, petulant infant and ruined a young girl’s moment in the spotlight. He doesn’t need to apologize for that? I didn’t realize that being Kanye West expected you from normal standards of human decency.
Of course, I guess I was silly to expect more than boorish behavior from a man who would defend Chris Brown. Kanye’s classlessness has been apparent for a while.

hey JT. you are still an IDIOT. and you are not a BIG DEAL also. you are such a small deal that you are just as puny a fool as kanye west. go screw yourself again as you wank off to a kanye west song.
Reply to this: comment | thread
JT If it is not that big of a deal why are you ranting on here as well? YOUR opinion is that she is white trash and not talented…..yet she has millions of fans. You dont think before you speak…stop being so stupid. It was rude what he did. It would have been rude if she had done it to him as well.

Consequences? Please tell me Al & Jesse are not going to show up? Somehow-some way they would figure out a way to blane it on Taylor Swift.

Um..but anyone talking about lynching Kanye is fucked up. He was a rude jackass (and it doesn’t matter if Swift is talented or not, he shouldn’t have been a rude jackass to her), but being racist is just as bad, if not worse.

Yeah, JT who is still an IDIOT, he is personally inviting Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson to comment that Kanye West is the new Messiah and the new Savior, and that Taylor Swift is just another Ho. That’s what JT is saying. Yes, JT, you are a DOUCHE BAG and you are STILL AN IDIOT. go screw yourself as you wank off while listening to your pirated collection of kanye west chalkboard-scratching music.

JT-“who shamelessly fiends for media attention “
Seems to me this would describe Kayne West. Maybe we weren’t watching the same show but i think Taylor was invited onto the stage and Kayne crashed a party he wasn’t invited to. Tell me again who was seeking attention?
Reply to this: comment | thread
I would like to thank JT for inviting me to comment on this forum. I would like to express my agreement that, yes, Kanye West is the new Messiah and the new Savior. And, yes, Taylor Swift is a HO. But she is a fine looking HO. Thank you again, JT, for inviting me.
